Walsall Garage

[Ashley]

There were two Omnilinks (1885/6) parked up at Dudley bus station at 13:30 this afternoom NIS and a B7RLE had just left on the 311.

Bet they still haven't fixed that offside fleetname on 1885 either?

There were two B7RLE's on 311/313 today, 1758 being one

Do the cannock bound x51s still run dead back to garage?  Saw one at 625 tonight headin along the walsall road in cannock displaying X51 Bloxwich!

Think the last change involved them running back to Bloxwich in service.

The third bus from Birmingham that runs north of Walsall now only runs to Bloxwich!

(I suspect if there is no one on board by the time it reaches the Stokes Street stop on Somerfield Road,  it will finish early & turn right onto High Street & run dead back to the depot that way. I know for a fact that has happened in the past as I was on  one such vehicle! )

Yea bit of a daft trip tho cannock to bloxwich cant imagine therell be many takers.  Although possibly a cheaper option than the 2. Unless its advertised and known about though people wont use it

I was waiting for X51 17:45 departure in Birmingham other day, the Gemini displayed "X51 Bloxwich". I thought it was a mistake but asked the driver if he was going to Cannock, he said no. I went on it anyway, to Walsall. There are now 17:05 and 17:25 departures to Cannock from Birmingham. I was wondering why the 17:45 departure route shortened to Bloxwich from Birmingham? The worst thing is, I didn't even know the route changes. I tried to look up on nwm website for information but nothing at all.

1434 is back in service. 1434 was serving WA 39, seen it in Oxford Street, Bilston at 16:53. Good to see her back on the road after a long break!

It was hidden amongst the details for the X51 Walsall-Birmingham frequency increase. I travelled on the first bus from Walsall-Cannock last week, which arrived after the second bus was meant to have departed (this was the day there was an accident on the M6 & another collision which would have caused traffic issues in Birmingham). I was the only passenger to board at Walsall (although to be fair there was a 1 & a 2 on stand at the same time) & about 6 of us got off in Cannock.

I then caught the second bus back (which was also twenty minutes late) back to Bloxwich, I was the only passenger on board and was guaranteed by the driver I would be the only passenger the whole way!

What was previously the third bus as previously stated now terminates at Bloxwich.

That's quite unexpected in my opinion. Maybe they are transferring Gemini's to WA which will displace Tridents to WN to replace some more Mercedes?

Why would they transfer tridents into Walsall (4327/8; 4139), if they were going to transfer Tridents out?

Do you know if these are replacing anything at WA?
